The UnTIME Clock by Pushkar Ingale, a fellow in the Stanford-India Biodesign Program, is a really simple but great concept. Two counter-turning dials constantly adjust to show the current time but the combinations of size, background, and colors provide endless possibilities. Notice that design, found on Yanko Design, used the same black wood layout that the website uses for their background (and featured earlier on this blog).

Wall clocks can only go so far with their two hands before new designs seem to mimic old. The Qlocktwo by Biegert and Funk redefines the classic clock by lighting up the time using words, not numbers. The Qlocktwo is available in five different colors as well as stainless steel (and 8 languages). The clock is €885 (approximately $1,300) and sold through its own website, though they also offer an iPhone app for only $.99.
